8luh 8luh,
[center]People ask me about the "8luh 8luh, huge 8itch" thing
and the ":::;D/xxxxD" emotes often so here's the thread
explaining them.
The come from 2 characters from a webcomic called Homestuck (its
great you should read it NOW vriska and the trolls arent in it
til late in the comic though)
the characters being Vriska Serket and by extension her ancestor
Marquise Spinneret Mindfang. they are trolls in the comic and
have a spider theme thus they have a typing quirk where in "B/b"
and any sort of eight(/ate/etc) sound is replaced with 8...on
occasion ending pronunciation and punctuation is multiplied
times eight (like this!!!!!!!!).
(full Example: H8ers gonna h8. I'm the 8est 8itch ever
<33333333)
the emote is also a spider thing. Vriska and Mindfang both had
"vision eightfold" where the have 1 eye with 1 iris the other
has 7. so she has eight eyes on her emotes like so ::::D

8luh 8luh,
[center]Vriska Serket, also known by her Trollian handle
arachnidsGrip, is one of the trolls. Her associated zodiac sign
is Scorpio (♏) and her horns are shaped like a claw and a
stinger.

Vriska types in a medium blue font and her typing quirks revolve
around the number eight in relation to arachnids. The letter 'B'
and sounds like 'eight' are replaced with the number 8 and some
characters are repeated in sets of eight, usually vowels or
punctuation marks. When she is flustered, she uses the number 8
in nearly every word she types, even in cases where the vowel
doesn't quite match an "eight" sound. Her smilies also have
eight pupils.
SPOLIERS BELOW IF YOU WANNA READ THE COMIC SPOILER FREE STOP NOW
its not totally gonna ruin the comic (I loved it and i read all
about it before reading it) but some people hate even minor
spoilers so yeah.
Vriska is, more often than not, a huge bitch. She gets easily
bored, makes shady deals with people, does horrible things to
her "boring" friends, and then slams herself because nobody
likes her or - even worse - hates her enough, despite her being
possibly the most dangerous troll of the group. At no point does
it occur to her that she might be going about things wrong.
Vriska believes that bad things constantly happen to her because
she has terrible luck. Kanaya Maryam and Doc Scratch suggest
that her own behavior is more likely the cause - for example,
she constantly steps on d4's only because she leaves them all
over the floor instead of tidying up. She also seems to hold
some degree of distaste towards her own blood color, mockingly
referring to it as "enviable cerulean swill" - just another
thing for her to blame her problems on. On other occasions,
though, Vriska holds herself in high regard - she often brags
about her exploits in Flarp, or just about herself in general.
While she sees herself as a great manipulator, it seems that she
is often manipulated herself. Although she would loathe to admit
it, she envies Terezi a great deal because of Terezi's ability
to manipulate people without the use of psychic abilities. This
could be a possible motivator for Vriska, as she attempts to
trick, deceive and backstab nearly every other troll - perhaps
as a way to prove herself in Terezi's view or even in her own.
When another troll calls her out on using mind powers, she
either denies it to the point of absurdity or throws a tantrum.
Despite all her negative traits, she does have a softer, more
benevolent side. She was genuinely upset when her plan to
reconcile with Aradia failed, and she also has admitted to John
that she felt bad about killing Tavros and that even though her
methods were more than questionable she did genuinely try to
help him get stronger. She also mentions to John that one of the
reasons she wants to fight Jack Noir is to protect her friends.
After her murder of Tavros, Vriska admits to John that she feels
terrible about it. According to troll culture, she had every
right to kill him, and claims she can't tell the other trolls
how she feels out of fear of seeming weak. She seems to have
always felt bad about ending up as screwed up as she did as a
result of troll culture, and laments how much better humans have
it. However, this is more remorse towards herself, rather than
guilt for any of her other atrocities, most likely because she
despises her own existance as a troll, to the point of saying
troll society was better off dead. She also willingly admits
that there is a good chance she will die if she fights Jack
Noir, but considers Jack being stopped far higher priority than
her own life.
She seems to have lost some of her faith in having all the luck,
but decides she has to go after Jack regardless, seeing her
fight will have to mean something, and relying on luck, instead
of inner strength and bravery, would be meaningless.
Vriska cares for her friends more than she usally admits,
stating to John that protecting them was her real reason for
planning on killing Jack, not just glory. [/center]
